MATT CELEBRATES S1 SUCCESS AT AUTOSPORT SHOW

Matthew Parry finally got his hands on the Super 1 Series silverware during the annual Autosport International exhibition at Birmingham's NEC.

Having clinched the title with a brace of sixth place finishes at the final round at Three Sisters - such was his cushion heading north to the Wigan venue - the 16-year had to wait patiently for several months before the series' awards presentation, but eventually got to see his name added to the likes of Allan McNish, David Coulthard, Jenson Button and Lewis Hamilton as a Super 1 champion.

Parry received the impressive-looking Junior Rotax trophy from BTCC legend Jason Plato, who was joined on stage by multiple WTCC champion Andy Priaulx, F1 driver-turned-commentator Martin Brundle and Le Mans star McNish, and, in common with fellow champions, also took home a brand new Rotax engine courtesy of JAG Engineering and an invitation to attend a three-hour iZone workshop at Silverstone.

Such was his performance over the season, however, the Paul Carr Racing driver was also awarded the major iZone prize of a full day at the Silverstone facility, where he will receive tuition by expert driver coaches, which should prove useful ahead of his anticipated graduation to Formula Ford in 2011.

With the formalities completed at the NEC, some 287 drivers, officials and guests moved on to enjoy dinner and entertainment at a nearby Coventry hotel as the final act of the 2010 campaign.

Matt Parry boasts an almost perfect career progression from karting through to single-seaters and has every chance to be the next British driver to make it to F1.

His spectacular record has been recognised nationally by the 25th McLaren Autosport BRDC Award, and there is now a very real opportunity for UK businesses to invest in a proven talent racing on the world stage - and get a return on that investment.

In 2017, Matt will move on from two podium seasons in GP3 and join RJN Motorsport to campaign a Nissan GT-R NISMO GT3 in the Blancpain GT Series Endurance Cup.
